This strawberry cottage cheese bowl pairs maple roasted strawberries, oats and coconut with cottage cheese for a delicious, protein-packed breakfast.
I’ve been making cottage cheese bowls with fruit for many moons, but it wasn’t until recently that I switched things up by roasting the fruit beforehand. This trick is a total game-changer and adds so much flavor to the cottage cheese.
Roasting Strawberries
Roasting the strawberries not only enhances their flavor and sweetness, but it helps the berries release a little juice which makes for the perfect sauce to mix into a bowl of cottage cheese.
Alone the roasted berries and cottage cheese have kind of a mushy texture so for this recipe the strawberries are roasted with oats and coconut flakes. The oats and coconut add a nice crunch to the mixture, as well as, some whole grains and healthy fats. The combo is filling, delicious and perfect for days you need a hearty, protein-packed breakfast.
Ingredients in Roasted Strawberry Cottage Cheese
- cottage cheese – the star of the recipe!
- strawberries – I love the sweet flavor the strawberries bring to the cottage cheese.
- old fashioned oats – otherwise known as rolled oats. Oats are naturally gluten-free, but often contaminated with gluten, so if you have a gluten intolerance make sure you get oats that are labeled gluten-free. My fave brand is Bob’s Red Mill.
- unsweetened coconut flakes – for some added crunch.
- maple syrup – the perfect all natural sweetener. Make sure you’re buying pure maple syrup.
- cinnamon – for a little spice to blend with the sweetness.
Serving & Storing Roasted Strawberry Cottage Cheese
The berries do take 30 minutes to roast, which is fine for a relaxed weekend breakfast, however if you’re making this for the weekday it might be best to make your roasted mixture ahead of time and keep it in the fridge until you’re ready to make the bowl. The roasted berry mixture should last about 4-5 days in the fridge.

I like the idea of cottage cheese bowls. This one looks good with the strawberries. I’m a bit like you with cottage cheese. Sometimes I’m in love with it and other times I forget I even have it in the refrigerator because it sits there so long. This is a good breakfast idea. I’m going to try it.

I absolutely love cottage cheese! It is my go-to snack in the afternoons. Just add a small handful or raw almonds, a chopped apple, and a few dashes of cinnamon and voila. Yummy, healthy, and filling!
Looks really tasty & simple to cook! I’m going to try it right now! This is exactly what I’m looking for my spring diet plan!!!
Can you actually taste the cottage cheese? I’m trying to incorporate a little bit more of in my diet (non-meat sources of protein yay!) but unless it’s masked it’s hard for me to eat any more than like…a bite.
This is delicious!! Made it this morning with raspberries and strawberries, it is definitely a new favourite 🙂
I do looove cottage cheese, especially in the morning on a warm day. Unfortunately, I’ve had to give it up along with greek yogurt (ugh) because I’ve realized eating that kind of dairy is bad for my skin. Looks so tasty though!
I go through on/off spurts with cottage cheese too…this seems like a good way to bring it back into my life though. Can’t wait to try it. 😀
I’m the same as you when it comes to cottage cheese – I go through phases where I love it, then other times it goes bad before I even have the desire to eat it. Have you tried mixing your cottage cheese with yogurt? I like that too as a way to mix things up.
I am either really on or really off with cottage cheese. I like to mix in cocoa powder, peanut butter, and stevia. Will definitely try your mix!
